Matched with Service Dog: Cash 

“I didn’t come to Warrior Paws just looking for a service dog—I came searching for a way to stay alive. After 26 years in military and law enforcement service, I was living with PTSD, anxiety, and a medical condition that made daily life unpredictable. I have spent the last 3 years including 4.5 months in a trauma treatment center for first responders, and I still didn’t feel like I had solid ground beneath me.

​

Warrior Paws changed that. Their team didn’t just ask what I needed help with—they asked who I wanted to become again. They saw potential where I felt broken. And then they got to work.

​

Cash isn’t just trained—he’s tailored to my life. He helps me stay grounded during panic, applies pressure when my blood pressure drops, picks up items I drop, and blocks crowds when I need space. He helps me walk into school events, conferences, grocery stores—and into my own healing.

​

This journey is not easy. It’s not a magic fix. But it’s real. It’s hard. And it’s worth it. Warrior Paws gave me more than a dog—they gave me my life back. And for the first time in a long time, I believe I belong here.

​

I’ll say this to any Veteran or First Responder who’s on the fence: If you’re willing to show up, do the work, and stay honest—this could be the lifeline that changes everything.”
